But no matter how nice the Pride me she was reranted leave to stay

She was still Outcast

She ed into the clothes she’d left on the hood The shift caused the cut to bleed evena sore spot on the botto her keys out of her pocket, eager to get back to her apart for her

"Well Look who it is"

Tabby tensed at that hated voice, the one fly in the ointment of her happiness in Halle He’d stayed doind, or she would have noticed hi before now and moved a hell of a lot faster "Gary" She turned to find her ne naked behind her They must have shifted and run from somewhere else There was no other car here, and none of their clothes littered the ground

She held back her Wolf’s groith difficulty She was terrified This wasn’t the first time the other Wolves had confronted her, but this was the first tileaet away, she’d be in a world of hurt "What do you want?"

But there was the other button…

Bravado was the only way she could see out of this She knew soht before With luck, one of them would wander by and stop Gary before he did what he so obviously wanted to do "Fuck off, Gary!"

He glared at her shout "You think anyone is gonna come and save you, Tabby ?"
